The Tsunami: Seventy Years Ago
Tomorrow is the seventieth anniversary of the tsunami. The two big tsunamis affected different parts of coastal Hilo. There used to be many buildings along the makai side of Kamehameha Avenue. When the 1946 wave hit, most of them were smashed up, but the mauka buildings largely escaped damage.
This is perhaps the most known photo from the tsunami, of people running up Ponahawai Street.
